EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the enchanting winter darkness of Leipzig's Augustus Platz, the annual Christmas tree market comes to life. Circa 1870, this photograph captures the essence of a cherished German tradition as people obtain their trees under the soft glow of lanterns and lamps. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to experience the magic of the season as it unfolds in this historic square. The winter night casts a dark and mysterious ambiance over the scene, yet the warm light of the lanterns illuminates the faces of the shoppers, their expressions filled with anticipation and joy. The trees, bundled up and ready for transportation, stand tall and proud, their branches adorned with the promise of holiday cheer. The Christmas tree market in Leipzig, a city located in eastern Germany, has been a beloved tradition for centuries. The market's origins can be traced back to the 16th century, making it one of the oldest in the country. The custom of bringing a tree into the home during the winter solstice was believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits. As the sun sets and the evening deepens, the market comes alive with the sounds of laughter, the scent of pine and gingerbread, and the twinkling of lights. The people of Leipzig, dressed in their finest winter attire, gather together to celebrate the start of the holiday season, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
